Frames in the Sales

[Darryl]

Looking towards next year, my stock of frames needs replenishing. Is ot best to buy now in that autumn of wait for spring sales.
Thornes are selling packs of 50 SN4 or DN4 seconds for £32.
Any advice?

 

[jenkinsbrynmair]

they won't be any cheaper in the spring sales, in fact they may go up in price.
Maisemores also have a sale on, their DN4 frames are only £30.00 for 50, no difference in the quality generally although I've always preferred Maisies.
and by getting them now you have the whole winter to put them together.

You might like to hold your horses and make a decision later this weekend. Watch the advertising banners at the top of the page.

These

 

[Sutty]

I'm not seeing them, happy with that!

 

[Erichalfbee]

Oh ok. They are just the banners from the companies that have sponsorship.

Good advice. As part of the Christmas day games, I can organise a "who can build a frame the fastest" competition.

Is your local A&E not that busy on Christmas Day then?

always preferred Maisies

Me too. Thorne wood is generally harder and more difficult to assemble. Maisemore is grainless, lighter and easy to pin.

build a frame the fastest

No good if accuracy is compromised: flush fitting of parts will ensure frame squareness and avoid jarring when scraping brace comb.

LOL.....had some frames..supposedly firsts..from a UK maker but had hard grain and some hard secure little knots in them. Bradder gun using 38mm 18g brads...struck a hard knot, shot out the ide..right into the knuckle of my left index finger. Bad enough to actually prevent the outflow of expletives had it been less sore. Nobody here to help so had to pull the frame nail out of my finger with a set of pliars. Fortunately did not go septic so was back at the same job in a couple of days.

Then my most stupid of all...because I have done it more than once.....is stapling my own jumper to my belly when the hand stapler jammed...then unjammed at an unexpected moment.

Thank you...its only been up since late on Friday. Our designer/builder did a good job I think. Will need tweaking from time to time and I see a few small errors and omissions ..but over the next week will tackle those.

I had a habit of pushing the end of my stapler to try and un jam it, I think I stapled both of my thumbs together three times before I learnt.....had to pull them out with my teeth.

'SQUIRM' does not quite hit the spot......I can almost feel it thinking about it.

If you put a frame nail into your stomach does that count as a staple diet?
